I'm opening some spreadsheets using vba that have links in them. When the
spreadshet opens, the message 'This workbook contains one or more links
which
cannot be updated'. I'm presented with a continue and exit button. I
click
the continue button and my program runs without issue. Is there a way for
me
to tell excel that I want to continue in my vba program so I don't have to
manually click the button every time a spreadsheet is opened?
Thanks in advance.
